Letter to the editor: A tip of the hat to Wayne Ford

As we all struggle to understand the George Zimmerman verdict and its likely implications, we should take a moment to appreciate former Rep. Wayne Ford's efforts this week to teach civic lessons and promote civic engagement as a non-violent way to make lasting change.

Ford took the path more challenging while it would have been so much easier to react with anger. Thanks to Wayne and the young people who visited the Capitol and learned about how they can be positive forces for the change that we need.
